XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <wolfgang.hoschek AT mac.com>]

With XPath the matching nodes in a XOM document can be found as follows:

Document doc = new Builder().build("test.xml");
Nodes results = XQueryUtil.xquery(doc, "id('foo')"); // with Nux/Saxon
Nodes results = doc.query("id('foo')"); // with Jaxen
